In this episode we examine the bold claim by U.S. President Donald Trump that South Africa should no longer be part of the G20 — and where this leaves global geopolitics. We dig into the roots of the U.S.–South Africa diplomatic fallout, from land-expropriation accusations and refugee claims to trade tariffs and Africa’s growing voice on the world stage. South Africa, which currently holds the G20 presidency, is pushing an agenda of solidarity, equality and sustainability — while the U.S. signals resistance. We break down how informal forums like the G20 operate, why consensus matters, and what happens if a member faces potential exclusion. Whether you’re tuning in for summit coverage, U.S. foreign policy, or Africa’s role in global affairs, this episode gives you the full story with expert context. Listen till the end for key take-aways on how this could reshape the G20 and what to watch next in U.S.–Africa relations.
